Police in Tempe, Arizona, rolled up to Tempe Tavern last week and arrested 249 people in a single raid for underage drinking. That is not a typo. Two hundred forty-nine people at one bar and the wild part is this is the second time this year they’ve pulled something like this.
According to police, community members complained that the place had basically turned into a youth hostel with liquor. So Tempe PD sent in fifty-seven officers to handle the situation, which feels slightly excessive unless Tempe Tavern had transformed into the world’s most poorly run speakeasy.
